Ask HN: Windows software for extracting multimedia files from webpage?

3 points by samh748 3 years ago · 7 comments · 1 min read


Ages ago I used a program on Windows that extracts all the files from a webpage, allowing you to download images and videos etc. I've completely forgotten what it's called and dont exactly want to google keywords and get all sorts of junk/virus.

Does anyone know programs that does this?

    I think this is it! Thank you!!

    EDIT WAIT no maybe not. They all look the same! hmmm This looks like a download manager, doesn't seem like it can actually extract files from a webpage??

      In the "LinkGrabber" tab, if you add a URL, it will find all of the various files linked, filtered by type and host.

        Oh right! I see! Sorry I couldn't check it myself as I don't have access to a Windows device yet. Thanks so much!
